Bachelor party

Opening night at the BCPA and a Celiac Disease conference in Cedar Falls, IA, kept the Aalberts boys home for the weekend, while the Aalberts gals headed West.

Amy reports the conference was great ... and they are returning with a ton of exciting new gluten free foods for Owen to try. They were glad they went.

And I'm glad I stayed. The performance by the Fab Four was great tonight, with the biggest opening night audience we've had since the theater opened. And Owen and I had a really wonderful day. We hit the farmer's market this morning and bought a fresh peach pie. Then it was off to the Discovery Museum, some errands -- birthday shopping for Mom (Amy's birthday is next Friday), bagels, and groceries -- then play time, a nap, and a trip to the pool.

A pretty wonderful day.

Some pictures from the Discovery Museum this morning. Owen started the day (and this is unusual for a boy who always plays with the wooden train set on the first floor first), at the paints ...

Then we moved to the dance room ...



And down to the tractor and farm toys on Level 2.

But the best shot of the day was this from the funhouse mirror.
Very silly!
